Last Chace for Justice
About the Book: (from B&H Publishing.)
Welcome to Bloomfield, where life is simple, love is real, and stories are shared.
Lynn Myers is still reeling from losing her husband of thirty-five years when word comes that her only sibling, an older brother, has also died. With no one else to settle the estate, she must return to her small hometown of Bloomfield, however briefly, to settle his affairs.
Lynn’s daughter, Rachel, has just graduated from Bible college and with no other commitments comes along to sort through her uncle’s huge old home, right next to the local cemetery.
It isn't long before Rachel has two men -- a handsome CPA and the youth pastor -- seriously vying for her attention. At the same time, Lynn's attention is drawn to a set of journals her brother has left behind detailing a long-standing Bloomfield mystery.
As they pursue solving this mystery, Rachel must make some personal decisions about her future, while Lynn is forced to face unexpected issues from her own past.
My Thoughts:
“The answer unnerved her.
She did not even want to consider the possibility that God’s plans
wouldn’t line up with her own.” (p.49)
God’s plans….lining up with our own….sound familiar? I daresay that all of us struggle with this
problem from time to time. Lynn Myers is
looking at the loss of her husband of thirty-five years. When her daughter Rachel suggests that they
get away from all of the painful memories, I daresay she wasn’t considering
time spent in her recently deceased uncle’s house back in Bloomfield – her
mother’s hometown.
Neither Lynn or Rachel ever dreamed that a long-time,
small-town mystery would lead them down a path of healing like nothing else
ever could. God knows His children so
well that He loving designs paths for our lives that will speak to us and lead us into His will. Bloomfield and its residents offer the
opportunity to heal in ways that neither Lynn or Rachel recognized
initially. As they discover God’s will
and seek Him more and more for each decision they face, they learn that they
can trust Him even when the days are confusing and painful.

despite their quirks! I am thrilled to

happy to recommend this book!!
